I was a waitress at this event. Chasen's Restaurant in Beverly Hills catered it. Sat at my assigned table which is at the far left was Lonnie Anderson. I was standing there when Burt Reynolds was introduced to Lonnie. The bathrooms for both celebrities and wait staff was the same which didn't set well with at least one "star". She said right in front of us, "I can't believe we have to share a restroom with them!" But as we were given strict orders not to speak to the the party guests, I had to bite my tongue!After we finished serving and were in the kitchen, Dolly Parton came in. She asked if she could "hang" with us as she'd rather be with us than with all the "stuffed shirts" out there. Of course we said yes and we had a great time with her until we were told that there was a "bomb scare""and everyone had to quickly leave. But Chasen's manager, Ronnie, wouldn't let us leave until we cleaned up! Thankfully, there was no bomb!
Thank you for sharing this. I worked with chasen waiters at a hotel in bev hills in the 1990s. At this taping I was barely out of my teens. I had a BIG crush on Burt Reynolds. I even went to his house on carolwood Dr in holmby hills. I'm ashamed of my immaturity. I walked into his home everything was red and black. Hal Needham his frequent housesitter while Burt was in Florida wasn't there. The housekeeper thought I was living there. Today I wouldn't be able to do that because of stalking laws. In the late 80 s I wrote a fan letter to Burt and told him what I did and apologized and told him it wasn't him I wanted but his pool. I was living in Greece at the time and he wrote back. He couldn't of been more kind . I addressed the letter to his home on carolwood so HE personally wrote this not his publicist or fan club. When pat O'Brien died I went to the funeral hoping to see Burt there. I sat in the pew behind loni Anderson and dom deluise but Burt wasn't there. At the time Burt was I'll and hospitalized. The false rumors were circulating that burt had AIDS. I didn't believe that for a moment. I respected Burt for many reasons but one of the main reasons is how humble he was. Burt used to say the sexiest woman to him was Carol Burnett because she made him laugh.A few months after returning from Greece Burt was in on a talk show and questioned about what makes him so admired by both women and men. Burt said "it's not me it's my pool they want" I fell out of my chair. Burt was kind and loyal to his friends. Wish he treated Sally better.
I miss those days. I was 9 years old when this aired. Seeing those old ads really took me back. No politics, no trash talk, no bad language. Wasn't a perfect era, but a damn sight better than now, in my opinion. I didn't know that Jack Lemon could play the piano.
I was a lot older than that! 🤭. But, still young and wish I could go back! YES, good times! Loved most of those ‘stars’ then. Very different now…..they’re gone and life goes on , but, jeeesh, never imagined the current freak show!
It wasn't the puritanical perfect picture that you paint at all. For instance, Burt and Dolly played in a movie called The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. There was Playboy. There were that awful Reagan and Thatcher. But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo politics for the sleepers.

Burt at the top of his game, walked in with a huge smile - greeted everyone with a nod, hand shake, kiss on the cheek or a hug. Elegant and charming - so nice to see Burt being recognized as he should be. We miss you Burt!
Growing up as a kid in the 1970's and 80's, it is sadly astonishing how back then we so loved and respected and admired our older generation and it's celebrities, who were still getting top roles and were vaunted by hollywood and the media, and now in today's times that has completely disappeared and only the young are paid any attention and older people shunned by the newer generations.
@@Katzenhase Actually she was underrated. Karen was good but not as good as Anne in my opinion. We all have our favorites. And if you didnt like her, you didnt have to make that remark. As far as her performance, I thought it was great, so did eneryone else. And so did the only one that mattered, Bert. They've been friends for a long time.
While he may not have felt he was highly respected for his acting by critics, he was dearly loved and respected by his peers. One of the most old-school cool actors of the 70's, and a class act as this video shows- there was no one quite like Burt Reynolds.
As a kid I just knew Burt & Jerry were just actors in a movie, but only in the last few years after their deaths that they were close friends. To me they’ll always be the Bandit & The Snowman
Burt Reynolds. R.I.P you where a truly a legend. I personally will never forget you from either from Smokey and the Bandit and of course Cannonball Run. Memory's will live on though people who watched those films.
This is fantastic, thanks so much! A bit awkward now that it's openly known he was born in Lansing, MI. Burt wanted to "be" from the south, so he said for years he was born in Georgia. I also loved Dinah's play on words in the song she sang. That was a great moment. 💗
This is a great time capsule! Love the commercials too. Tom Seleck in a cologne ad at the beginning of his career. Seeing the old Hollywood stars is fascinating. Loni Anderson at the beginning of their troubled relationship. And Dinah Shore! Wow! Their love was really true. 💜
This is the first time Loni met Burt. Loni was dating Gary Sandy at the time. Gary didn't want to go with her, so she asked her assistant to go. They weren't even dating during this variety show. I read her book.
The 70s and 80s were the best. So blessed to have these stars to look up to when I was growing up. I was born in the early sixties and I had alot of Hollywood crushes. Movies and Tv back then was the best for the most part. No wonder they try and makeover these movies but they can never be good enough to replace these actors. Makes me so nostalgic and wish we could go back in time and relive it. The kids today think they have it so much better with all this technology but they don’t know what they missed.
So many true legends of the silver screen all in one place. And most of them have sadly moved on.. We miss you all so very much. People such as you will never be seen again.. I would like to say thank you all for the dedication to your craft.. THANK YOU to you Bert R.I.P xx
Thanks for posting this video. I found it while looking for something else and it made my day. Loved every minute of it and now I'm going to order some pizza. Lol
There were some very special people in that party group. Wonderful get together, where everyone was happy to participate. Fab party. And he got to do it in front of his parents. Awesome!
I watched a1991 Dinah Shore TV interview with Burt Reynolds yesterday which I found very moving as you got such an insight into an incredible love story between the pair which obviously spanned decades, she was 74 at the time & completely defied her age in the way she looked, so to see it again at the end of this TV special which was 10 years earlier just showed what an unbroken bond of love there was between them, no doubt the loves of each others lives even though sadly they were unable to stay together as a couple!
I love that song that Anne Murray sang. It’s very spiritual and also about people who love you, and help you. This was such a sweet tribute that it made me sad. So many talented people are now gone. But hopefully they are all performing in the big room upstairs. And having fun with each other. I’m feeling sentimental tonight. He’s looks like he’s getting choked up as she sang to him. He was a really talented actor, and had many friends that loved him, and I just watched him and Dinah Shore do a fantastic interview. It it was made me come over to watch this.
It's sad to know within a few years he had lost all his box office power, money and eventually divorce and just worked to pay the bills, he should have remained a star but Hollywood seemed through with Burt by the mid eighties, but on this night all that was still in the future and he was still on top
He squandered his status by being a neurotic pill addict that was famously difficult to work with. So of course once he stopped selling tickets, nobody wanted to touch him. And it didn't help that it was an open secret that he abused both Loni and Sally (a fact both women have confirmed in their memoirs). The lesson? Be a decent human even in success.
@@jakestroll6518 I can’t speak to the Loni and Sally situations, but Burt went through a lot with his TMJ and other injuries, so criticizing him for his addiction is pretty tacky. Burt did a lot of good, including for AIDS when a lot of people refused to acknowledge it, so if you’re going to talk about the man maybe be a little more objective.
@@ganggang3873 Frank Sinatra hosted the "All Star Tribute for John Wayne" as you can see when you watched the Bronson clip I posted a couple of years ago. I´m sorry that I can´t upload the rest of the show.
Special Presentation. This was a party for Burt Renolds. We don't have these specials anymore. There's no one we want to celebrate left that we all cherish and who are worth the time.
Oh yea I forgot this was when entertainers were actually entertainers and not agents of propaganda. They actually had talent, class and humility back then.
Just INSANE that a little bit of Street Life" by the Crusaders is played in a commercial in this video resulting in licensing information dumped into the video description and the license owner is getting a payment. I guess we should be thankful they didn't force you to mute it.
Good lord, the way Dinah looks at Burt and the way he looks at her... that's LOVE. What a shame that she pulled out of their relationship! And for just a 20 year gap in their ages?? What piffle. If a man is 20 years older than his girlfriend, nobody thinks twice about it; indeed, he is hero! I wonder if she ever regretted her decision to break up? Guess we'll never know for sure.
He is NOT a hero. Police, firefighters, paramedics etc., are heroes. Not movie stars. And Burt wanted to have children and Dinah of course couldn't have any.
That Bell South commercial .. only $3.95 for 20 minutes to call to Miami plus tax 😂 I remember my mother yelling no long-distance calls,,I miss the 80s
Burt and Dinah were very much in love, but he wanted to be with someone who could give him children. She couldn't. Her heart was breaking into a million pieces while she sang this to him on the show.
WOW WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO I THINK I REMEMBER I SAW IT BACK IN 1981 BURT IS A LEGEND. SO MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE WERE THERE BE NICE IF SALLY WAS THERE . HIS LAST MOVIE IS GOOD CALLED THE LAST MOVIE STAR. R.I.P. BURT.

I'm with you DD.... most of these great stars are gone RIP to them one and for all
That's just what I was thinking ❤
There never b another sad there all gone!❤
What a time this was, wish we could bring them all back.
What as happened to the once beautiful world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You gotta a Time Machine bub
Back in the days when Hollywood could make movies
Everything in its time. So much of the later work was terrible. How sad to live your life where the best is over.
@russcooke5671 social media killed all of this & now celebrities are shoved down our throats no matter how hard to escape, there is none

Thanks for sharing this. And Dolly is the GREATEST, most unpretentious person you will ever meet!
When Dinah started singing…I lost it. Those two loved each other so much
If TV was still this good I would’ve never cut the cord
Wonderful!!!!!!!
I don't think I remember seeing this! Oh boy, he was married to that Loni then???
@@Melinda8162 I think he was still with Sally field they were together 1977-1982.
Please unplug it first before you do that.

@@Melinda8162 yes I agree
It wasn't the puritanical perfect picture that you paint at all. For instance, Burt and Dolly played in a movie called The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. There was Playboy. There were that awful Reagan and Thatcher. But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo politics for the sleepers.

Burt at the top of his game, walked in with a huge smile - greeted everyone with a nod, hand shake, kiss on the cheek or a hug. Elegant and charming - so nice to see Burt being recognized as he should be. We miss you Burt!
It’s sad to think that almost all these greats are gone. They were the best entertainers ever.
Wonderful. Today, we miss the days when hollywood had stars of this class. Love the appearance of Sheriff Buford T Justice. Very funny.
@Fred Forbes . You're not wrong. Plus, these so called stars have lost any common sense and sense of humour as well too.
So funny 🤣
@@Somerset-In-The-BloodNow Kid Rock is the only talented conservative to represent all republicans. Oh yeah, Bob Sneider too 😂😂😂.
1981 will always be remembered as one of my greatest years to be alive. I also loved 1986.
Well, I agree because I’d like to be ‘younger’ again!! 😁. Plus I wasn’t married yet….😳
1981 was a glorious time for me too...1988 and 1989 were my two favorite years.
1985 was a great year too
Graduated High School in ‘86 😮
Wow. When Hollywood still had some class. Thank you for the memories.
Even the commercials were better back then.
I was 18 in 1981 and was truly a wonderful time to have been young ❤️ loved Burt ⭐️
Diana and Burt end it with class!! 🥂 💖 And the beloved Jack Lemmon on piano!! Beautiful.
I am crying at the commercials. What a wonderful time to have grown up😊
Growing up as a kid in the 1970's and 80's, it is sadly astonishing how back then we so loved and respected and admired our older generation and it's celebrities, who were still getting top roles and were vaunted by hollywood and the media, and now in today's times that has completely disappeared and only the young are paid any attention and older people shunned by the newer generations.
This truly was an All-Star Party For Burt Reynolds.
That was wonderful...for the last hour I was eighteen again! Thank you for posting! This is when stars were stars!!
38:52-40:43 Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Buford T. Justice was EPIC!
This was beautiful. I didn't know Jack Lemmon could play the piano. This was gorgeous. I have always been a Burt Reynolds fan.
Burt had it ALL..except follicles 💇(toupee)
34:44-38:43 Madeleine Kahn’s operatic singing was perfection!
Ann Murray's performance was priceless. Burt was mesmerized. RIP Bandit!
Ann Murray is overrated. I know she was Elvis´s favorite female singer but I think that Karen Carpenter was much better.
@@Katzenhase Actually she was underrated. Karen was good but not as good as Anne in my opinion. We all have our favorites. And if you didnt like her, you didnt have to make that remark.

@@mary.gcarpenter1490 You really want to tell us that Anne Murray is a better singer than Karen Carpenter? You must be either drunk or taking drugs.
This is all the stars l grew up on thank god l did true class beautiful l miss that time and those people from then
While he may not have felt he was highly respected for his acting by critics, he was dearly loved and respected by his peers. One of the most old-school cool actors of the 70's, and a class act as this video shows- there was no one quite like Burt Reynolds.
Burt deserved to be celebrated. The man had friends from James Stewart to Charles Nelson Reilly!
.lol😜
I just marathoned... the ghost and Mrs Muir . Charles is excellent in his roll!
Did you know he started on Gunsmoke
Thanks so much for posting this. I just love this and burt is just a class act.
Dinah and Burt were terrific together, a shame they didn’t stay together but, so sweet they kept a wonderful friendship
Burt made a HUGE mistake right there by leaving her because of pressure to create his offspring. So silly!
A round up of people with similar quality of all these in attendance here is nigh on impossible these days!!! This was when stars REALLY were stars!!
Yes Burt you are a great actor I loved you in Gunsmoke and Smokey and The Bandit I love you God Bless you RIP ❤❤❤
What a fun tribute. Miss those days of TV and missing the Bandit.
Great to see"The Sheriff's"tribute Comedy Gold 😁🤣 Rip Jackie...The Great One!
When stars were stars not like today unfortunatly
As a kid I just knew Burt & Jerry were just actors in a movie, but only in the last few years after their deaths that they were close friends. To me they’ll always be the Bandit & The Snowman
Burt Reynolds,Dom De Luise,Jackie Gleason,Jerry Reed,Nelson Riddle,Jim Nabors,Quinn Martin,Norman Fell,Richard Anderson,Ned Romero,Ena Hartmann,Roger Moore,Rest In Peace.
Burt Reynolds. R.I.P you where a truly a legend. I personally will never forget you from either from Smokey and the Bandit and of course Cannonball Run. Memory's will live on though people who watched those films.

Don't have time to watch now, but was wondering if James Arness was on it, if not should have been...would be cool to see the Gunsmoke stars together
There were some very special people in that party group. Wonderful get together, where everyone was happy to participate. Fab party. And he got to do it in front of his parents. Awesome!

Omg this is fantastic this never aired in UK so not fair we are massive fan's
So many talented people, looking beautiful, dressed yo the nines. All gone now. So damn sad.
38:58 is when it got funny as hell. Surprised Buford's badge was a six pointer whereas in the movie his was a seven pointer.
And his hat was back to front also🤭
When America still had a hint of innocence and decency. I only wish that we could've recognized the good ol days, when we were living in them.
Refreshing to see when entertainers had class and respected each other. Sure miss those days.
Love burt he is the all time greatest
As an 11 year old I think I watched about 5 minutes before I went to do something else. And now I can watch it, a celeb gala of the time.
Special Presentation. This was a party for Burt Renolds. We don't have these specials anymore. There's no one we want to celebrate left that we all cherish and who are worth the time.
I miss TV specials like this 🙂
Love Bert Reynolds and really miss him.
Always liked watching old commercials 😊😊😊😊
I was. 9 yr old in summer of 1981.
And. 1984 was a good memory..
Also. Summer Olympics 1984..😊😊😊😊
Dinah Was Truly the Love 💘 of His Life !! Their Chemistry Was Palpable !!!.
i miss this america
Me too
I love Dinah so much....what a beautiful scene
I miss the talent, dignity and class from back then.
Simply wonderful entertainment especially nice in perspective to today's "entertainment".
You can tell that he and Dinah Shore still adored each other.
Yes, a genuine moment between close friends. And listen to Jack Lemmon play that piano. Nice!
I know it’s cliche to say it but damn the difference in class is shocking.
This was wonderful. So much love, warmth and humour.
Burt seems like a terrific guy
Oh yea I forgot this was when entertainers were actually entertainers and not agents of propaganda. They actually had talent, class and humility back then.
Wish I could get this on dvd
Bless your heart Dolly Parton
What an incredible trip down memory lane.
Wow to be a guest in that room
Burt Reynolds And Jim Nabors RIP.
This was wonderful but that ending with Dinah singing and ad libbing and jack Lemmon wow
Awe Brian Keith! I loved him.
Wow! This is amazing! Who knew Jack Lemmon could play the piano like that?!?
What a poetic ending.
Spectacular,starting off with the beautiful, vivacious, wonderful Dolly Parton,great song she wrote. Every I grew up with is here.
Just INSANE that a little bit of Street Life" by the Crusaders is played in a commercial in this video resulting in licensing information dumped into the video description and the license owner is getting a payment. I guess we should be thankful they didn't force you to mute it.
Didn't see James Arness announced at beginning....would have been nice to see the old Gunsmoke stars reunited
He wasn´t there.
Good lord, the way Dinah looks at Burt and the way he looks at her... that's LOVE.
What a shame that she pulled out of their relationship! And for just a 20 year gap in their ages?? What piffle. If a man is 20 years older than his girlfriend, nobody thinks twice about it; indeed, he is hero!
I wonder if she ever regretted her decision to break up? Guess we'll never know for sure.
He is NOT a hero. Police, firefighters, paramedics etc., are heroes. Not movie stars. And Burt wanted to have children and Dinah of course couldn't have any.
Thanks for posting.
Absolutely wonderful.
Wow! And at 27:42 we have a Chaz commercial with a then unknown Tom Selleck.
Just ONCE I’d like my All Star friends to throw a party for me on CBS … this was a time when everyone had class!

Turn around Sheriff the bandit is right next to you! Burt had a great time that nght!
